Solution
Section A
1. (a) n ( A ) + n ( B ) – n ( )
Explanation:
Here , A and Bare not disjoint
then
2. (d) 16
Explanation:
Total no of subsets=2n=24=16
Here n is the Cardinal no of the Given Set
3. (a) 3
Explanation:
Given
4. (b) A = B
Explanation:
Let A=B,Then,
Conversely, let , now we have to prove that A=B.
Let
4/7
So, ...(2)
Let
So, ...(3)
Thus, ...(4)
From(1) and (4),we get
5. (a) { 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 }
Explanation: prime no less then 10 is 2, 3, 5, 7 so
set A={2,3,5,7}
6. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11}
7. null or void set
8. 1 N and 12 = 1 < 25
2 N and 22 = 4 < 25
3 N and 32 = 9 < 25
4 N and 42 = 16 < 25
Hence, {x N : x2 < 25} set can be written as {1, 2, 3, 4}.
9. Here A = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11} , B = {7, 9, 11, 13}, C = {11, 13, 15} and D = {15, 17}
= {7, 9, 11}
10. = {6, 7, 8, 9, .............} which is an infinite set.
5/7
Hence, the given set is infinite.
11. Here n(X) = 40, and
We know that
60 = 40 + n(Y) - 10
12. Here n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32 and
We know that
13. Let x be the arbitrary element of set (A B')
Then, x (A B')
(as B' is not equal to B)
....(i)
Similarly,
Let y be the arbitrary element of set (A - B)
Then,
....(ii)
From Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get
(A B') = (A - B)
Hence the required expression is proved.
14. {{0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is not a universal set for A, B, C, because but 8 is not a
member of {0, , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
15. Total number of students surveyed, n(U) = 25
6/7
No. of students who had taken Mathematics, n(M) = 15
No. of students who had taken Physics, n(P) = 12
No. of students who had taken Chemistry, n(C) = 11
No. of students who had taken both Mathematics and Chemistry, n(M C) = 5
No. of students who had taken both Mathematics and Physics, n(M P) = 9
No. of students who had taken both Physics and Chemistry, n(P C) = 4
No. of students who had taken all three subjects, n(M P C) = 3
The Venn diagram is shown in the figure.
i. Number of students who had taken Chemistry only = n(C) - [2 + 3 + 1] = 11 - 6 = 5
ii. Number of students who had taken Mathematics only = n(M) - [6 + 3 + 2] = 15 - 11 =
4
iii. Number of students who had taken Physics only = n(P) - [6 + 3 + 1] = 12 - 10 = 2
iv. Number of students who had taken Physics and Chemistry but not Mathematics =
n(P C) - n(M P C) = 4 - 3 = 1
v. Number of students who had taken Mathematics and Physics but not Chemistry =
n(M P) - n(M P C) = 9 - 3 = 6
vi. Number of students taken only one of the subjects = 4 + 2 + 5 = 11
vii. Number of students taken at least one of three subjects = 4 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 2 =
23
viii. Number of students taken none of the subjects = 25 - 23 = 2
